Reviewing the epidemiological literature on the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in India is the goal of this systematic review. Using pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a literature search was carried out for pertinent studies from a number of databases, including the National Library of Medicine's PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. The quality of a few chosen papers that fit the search criteria was assessed using the JBI tool, and the results were then compiled into tables. Data about the study population, the diagnostic technique utilized, the prevalence of TMD, and other pertinent findings were retrieved from a total of 25 studies. The prevalence of TMD was 35% overall, with the majority of the studies conducted on young students in India. The data showed a high degree of heterogeneity, indicating that TMD predominantly impacts women and is a serious and expanding illness in the population at large. The information that is now accessible highlights the necessity of conducting more study on the etiologic variables linked to TMD in order to put effective preventative measures into place.
